The white washed exterior of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox church and blue sky come together in a scene reminiscent of a church on a Greek Island. Built in 1968, along the Eastern shore of the Atlantic ocean of South Jersey, St. Demetrios is the closest built church, less than 10 ft to the sea, in North America.
